Question

In which one of the following the central atom is sp\textsuperscript{3 hybridized?}

• A. NH\textsubscript{4}\textsuperscript{+}
• B. BF\textsubscript{3}
• C. SF\textsubscript{6}
• D. PCl\textsubscript{5}
• E. XeF\textsubscript{4}

Hint:

Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in saturated, single-bonded environments (like $CH_4, NH_4^+, H_2O$) are almost always sp\textsuperscript{3} hybridized.
